Embattled golf superstar Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren Woods may be filing for divorce in Sweden in a bid for greater privacy, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. The widely expected divorce could net Elin Nordegren one of the largest divorce settlements in history, with estimates ranging from $300 million to more than $500 million.
But Tiger Woods, with an estimated net worth of around $1 billion, is good for it.
According to unnamed sources, Tiger Woods has hired an attorney with expertise in international child custody cases. And according to still more unnamed sources, Elin Nordegren is planning to move back to her native Sweden and is in the process of renovating a house there.
While we have a pretty good idea that they indeed are getting divorced, since both have hired multiple lawyers, it's too soon to say with 100 percent certainty in the absence of court documents.
Still more sources tell reporters the couple wants to keep the details of its settlement private and also would like to keep the division of marital property out of court documents. Is that why they are (rumored to be) getting divorced in Sweden?
Quite a few Americans have so-called "destination weddings" in foreign lands, so maybe getting a "destination divorce" is no big deal legally, but divorce attorneys in Chicago could better explain.
Tiger Woods rammed his car into a tree following what most observers believe was an argument with his wife over alleged affairs with multiple women, which triggered confessions by several women claiming to have slept with the golfer. His first performance since the allegations first came to light was the Masters tournament last month in Augusta, where he finished fourth.
The couple has two children: a 2-year-old daughter named Sam and a 14-month-old son named Charlie.
Divorces can happen to anyone, even possibly Tiger Woods. If you are struggling with a divorce, it may be useful to speak with an attorney.
If you have a particularly complicated divorce case, contacting a divorce attorney in Chicago is usually the best first step.
